Kevin Spacey has revealed that he may become involved in a reality TV show.

The actor and Old Vic artistic director told thelondonpaper that he has been approached about the possibility of making a theatre-based programme.

Spacey said: "Generally they want to come into the rehearsal room and film ad nauseam, but the rehearsal room is sacred - actors need to try things and feel they can fail.

"The notion you can get actors of name and reputation to allow cameras in is very difficult. But discussions are still ongoing, ideas are being thrown around. I think there are ways to be able to do it."

Spacey previously criticised the BBC for its "promotion" of a commercial musical production with I'd Do Anything and despite reportedly apologising to Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber, the American Beauty star restated his concerns.

"It's in the charter, the BBC are not allowed to be an advertising vehicle! And I don't care how you slice it, that's what that show is. If that show was on ITV I wouldn't have said a thing," he said.
